you can run dir . store download in c:\jvms and show the result?

I can see that it downloads the JDK zip file, but it fails to extract it in the C:\Program Files\jdk. and if there is not jdk folder in C:\Program Files\, it does not even create that folder, even when the cmd is running with admin permission.

It seems that the zip file is unpacked error。
you can try this manual:

1. extract 1.8.0_31.zip to 1.8.0_31
2. cut 1.8.0_31 folder to c:\jvms\store\
3. run jvms ls && jvms switch 1.8.0_31

jvms will do this:

• jvms ls show the folder in jvms\store
• jvms switch xxx is create a Symbolic link in C:\Program Files\jdk target is jvms\store\xxx
